Matt Hamill "in Shock" Over UFC 78's Evans-Bisping Booking

UFC light heavyweight Matt Hamill, who lost a controversial split decision to Michael Bisping last month at UFC 75 (and subsequently was promised an immediate rematch), is “in shock” after learning that Bisping will first fight Rashad Evans at UFC 78.

The former cast member from “The Ultimate Fighter 3″ posted a message on his personal website, matthamill.com, saying he “got hosed by the judges in London” and that he is now getting the same treatment from Bisping and the UFC.

Late last month, Hamill announced that he had undergone minor knee surgery but had hoped to rematch Bisping Dec. 29 at UFC 79. Instead, the UFC announced yesterday that Bisping vs. Evans would headline a Nov. 17 show in Newark, N.J.

“Wow! Let me just say (that) I am in shock,” Hamill wrote. “First, I get hosed by two judges in London and now the much anticipated rematch has evaporated in front of my eyes.”

Hamill feels his surgery may have had something to do with the decision.

“I posted a statement about my knee surgery on 9/25 so everyone would know it was minor, and I would be ready by mid December,” Hamill wrote. “I didn’t think six weeks was that long of a wait (but) apparently Bisping and the UFC did.”

Hamill, a three-time NCAA Division III national wrestling champion, wrote that he’d like to fight in the UFC in December or January and and that he would like the rematch with Bisping after that.
